Since your son is not in the public school system, it would probably be best to start with your family doctor, and see if he or she can refer you to a facility that performs dyslexia testing. You might also want to contact the Oklahoma Dyslexia Learning Center (http://www.oklahomadyslexia.com/index.html) and see if they have recommendations for testing in your area. I hope this is helpful. Please feel free to call our office if you have any more questions: 918-549-7400.

In addition to consulting with the school system, we suggest that she speaks to her regular physician about her symptoms. Primary care physicians have intimate knowledge about the health of their patients and should be able to recommend the appropriate referral.

If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact our office at 918-549-7400.

my daughter is 16 years old and has been having trouble in school for some time now. I have read some of the symptoms of Dyslexia and would like to have her tested. Could you tell me who I could call to have her tested?
Thank you.

Thank you for your question. You are not alone. Millions of adults struggle with reading and numbers. There are many different kinds of doctors that can medically diagnose someone with a learning disability, including psychometrists, clinical psychologists, and some neuropsychologists.

If you suspect you might have a learning disability, speak to your regular physician about your options. You might also check out the Learning Disabilities Association of America at http://www.ldanatl.org/ for helpful resources, accomodation techniques, and answers to frequently asked questions.

And if you are interested in receiving free, one-on-one help to improve your reading skills, please call our Adult Literacy Service at 918-549-7400. We are here to help.
